Post Dyno Charts Here.....

[zphreaky1]

not sure but I don't like to even give them out. I think we all got to make a living and if the company who spent the money to get the equipment and training and put in the time to do it doesn't want to give it to you what makes me think that I should. I guess it's a matter of personal integrity. Not you have it or don't ,but rather are you OK with doing that or not. I think it's similar to pirating music or software. I don't like to do it.

Just got it remapped to get the air/fuel mix adjusted. Less HP than I was expecting but definitely smoother acceleration. Only thing we may still work on is that I'm still getting some "back-fire" when in 3rd/4th and it's dropping below 1750 rpm. This is where the map kicks back in some fuel to ensure the idle is good and it doesn't miss power taking off. Definitely cleared up all to popping when deccelerating off the highway.

Popping update: Was able to solve the popping problem by implementing Gadget's Marbling Fix and adjusted the 0 throttle map to match the Dynojet downloadable map setup for the Roadhouse exhaust. Left all non-zero map settings at the custom settings from the dyno tuning.

Max HP = 58
Max Torque = 82

Run Conditions: 73F, 29.0 in-Hg, 33% RH

I am using the map for the slashdowns (and stock filter) and it seems to be working well. I'm getting better mileage now (37 - 41 MPG vs. about 35 MPG).

Thanks again for the tip!

2007 - Stock Vulcan 900 Custom (600 miles on the bike)

I'll post again after I put my pipes and, air box, and pcIII on.

Stock doesn't seem so impresive. The specs say 50HP andd 58lb/Torque but I guess there is quite a differance at the rear wheel.

What type of pipes and Inake are you getting? I installed the Cobra Speedster Slashdown, PC III and have a Hypercharger Pro on order. The pipes and PC III really imrproved the power!

Still, it's not bad for a 900cc cruiser. I'm putting the Cobra Slashdowns on, but they're on backorder for a week. After that, it'll be one of the air kits from Thunder Mfg (I haven't decided which yet) and a PCIII. There is PC Pro Tuner here in town and he charges $200 for custom maps. He comes highly recommended and with 30+ years of experience he seems to know his s**t. After tuning I'll post an updated chart.

Oh yeah and I'm debating the Scootworks pulley mods... http://www.kawasakimotorcycle.org/fo...t-vn900-2.html

[Easyrider32]

Yes the Intake/Exhaust make a huge Diff, I already noticed just with the Cobras. I found that the low end has slightly been sacraficed, but when I am in 3/4/5th gear and open that throttle I have to lean forward and hold on tight!
The Low end will be fixed once I add the hypercharger. I am guessing 10HP increase using the map from the Dynojet website. Check out the first page and you will see that a guy with a meanstreak got a 29% increase 19HP after being custom tuned!

Your 900 will not be the same, Just need to unlease the potential within. The stock intake is very restrictive especially with a paper filter.

Would love to see if anybody has a 800 drifter with 17/38 sprockets a roadhouse exhaust and okie air system...

thats exactly what i got and i plan on getting a dyno done cause I need to make it better

Yes posible since they have the Dynograph to prove it. Its called N.O.S!

Remember dynographs aren't necessarily proof of anything. I'm not saying that the v2k with nos isn't putting out impressive #'s I am just saying that dynographs aren't proof of anything.

[Easyrider32]

Dynographs are the standard for measuring Power and Torque at the real wheel.

OK you want something to prove lets take it to the Drag race track. Quarter Mile thats what really counts

[zphreaky1]

And while I am not denying that, they can still be Dr.ed. If I owned one and thought that I might play a joke on somebody I could take a chart from any bike and say it was from another. Maybe I plug the wrong info in so the wrong bike is on the chart. Maybe I use the results from two different bikes on the same graph so that it looks like my second run there were huge improvements after installing so called modifications. All I am saying is just because I see it posted on the net doesn't mean it's true.

When I first saw that V2K dyno, and underneath it says "drag bike", and it had a HUGE spike in the torque, I was pretty sure they were running nitrous. I've seen plenty of dyno's of bikes and quads on N2O and I can attest that it makes a HUGE difference. Even had it on an old Mustang years ago. When you think about it, it they run about 130 lb'ft stock, getting another 50 or so isn't all that hard. My guess is (I didn't read the article) is that they ran a 50 shot on that motor.

[Easyrider32]

I am sure the Custom Cruiser did not fake their tests. Yes we anyone in a Forum can fake it but I am going from a Magazine with a good reputation.

I'm not saying the are. All I am saying is dynographs aren't necessarily PROOF. That's all. They may or may not have faked their tests, maybe there was an error, I don't think so, all I am saying is maybe. It's pro'lly all legit. The source is also important like you said.

This is my dyno chart from my 2007 Kawasaki Nomad, it has the Vance & Hines bagger pipes, a 9" K&N filter converted to the right side and a power commander.

Max power to rear wheel is

68.10 Max HP

88.44 Max torque

partong is a regular over on the Delphi Forum, he is the guy who came up with the "5th gear cheat mod". The resistor that is added into the mix to fool the V2K's timing into not retarding in the first 3 gears.
He is a for real rocket scientist.

Also, a very nice guy. He helped me when I was tuning my bike with the O2 sensor and TFI.

ok gang.... i live in jersey and want to dyno... anybody know of a place?

I know of a place with an eddy current machine but they are VERY VERY slow to act, i am willing to take time off of work to go down there and do the dyno but they keep stalling.

i just want a darned curve!
